Anonymous lyrics on a 16th century melody. Not to be confused with the Mirror Aria from Act Two of Jules Massenet's opera Thaïs (Dis-moi que je suis belle), first staged at the Opéra Garnier in Paris in 1894, with Sibyl Sanderson as Thaïs. Massenet had actually been inspired by her to compose this opera. Oldest recording: in 1952 with Géon Boué as Thaïs.
